Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers

Operating since 1782, Sworders is one of the longest established fine art and antiques auction houses in the United Kingdom. In the 21st century, it combines exceptional personal advice with innovative, thoughtful marketing and a deep understanding of the world of art and antiques.

Holding over 40 auctions each year, Sworders cover a wide breadth of specialist categories including British & European paintings, Asian works of art, jewellery & watches, furniture and contemporary art and design.

In 2008, the business expanded into its purpose-built auction rooms in Stansted Mountfitchet, based four miles north of Bishop’s Stortford, opened by HRH Princess Michael of Kent. The environmentally friendly, award-winning premises provides spacious, comfortable auction rooms, over 200 car parking spaces, loading facilities and a sale day café.

Fortnightly ‘Homes & Interiors’ sales deliver a unique alternative to high street furniture shops, offering a range of high quality and affordable modern and antique furnishings for the home and garden. Catering for all styles and tastes, the sale includes Works of Art, Ceramics, Glass, Silver, Jewellery, Collectables and Furniture, with prices typically ranging from £50 to £2000.  The sales are designed to be accessible and user friendly, with items carefully displayed to provide interior design inspiration. They are fully illustrated online the Friday before each Tuesday sale, with viewings held on the Monday from 9am to 7pm to allow time for people to visit after work.

Sworders provides valuation and auction services internationally. The business ensures client's works are seen, desired, and purchased by the world’s largest art markets in Europe, America and Asia. However, international reach and commercial success are only part of the appeal. The real reason buyers and sellers choose Sworders over competitors is the knowledge and approachability of experts, and the efforts taken to understand and fulfil clients’ tastes and needs.
